Gail Ritchie

Gail Ritchie’s work is reflective look on nature and the organic forms and shapes that nature can offer. Ritchie’s uses porcelain as a celebration of the environment and nature. Often using animals as a staple of her work, she also uses people intertwines with nature. Whether it is a bird perched on a chair that is overgrown by plants, or a child gleefully watching a frog leap into a pond, Gail Ritchie is able to make delicate sculptures out of porcelain.

Each time I complete a piece, I ask, ‘does it sing?’; on occasion, I can answer yes.

There is gentle wonder about Gail Ritchie’s work that is often hard to find in sculptures. The mix of porcelain and ceramic materials, colors, subject matter, and brightness, is what allows Gail’s work to stand out. She embraces the organic form to express a childlike curiosity. From animals to plants to people, Gail Ritchie’s work always is of the highest quality.
